Much to everyone’s amazement, the little Claire Bear took to camping like her namesake, rooting the bushes for tasty morsels and hibernating until well past seven in the morning — and she put down roots in the wilderness as if she’d been born there. The kid, her dad is pleased to announce, is a bona fide wood nymph and if this past weekend was any indication will likely keep her mom and pop company on many future trips into the wilderness. Of course, I brought the camera along, and you can click to see a whole album of random camping shots: True, we did have a cozy camper to park ourselves away from the harsher elements. And true, the flush toilets were a nice bonus. But if ever there was a kid who wanted to stick her hands into the dirt, pluck greenery from the trees, and taste every rock she encountered — then Claire is that kid. And that’s fine by me. Though, arguably, we might have got a first word: “hot” particularly after Karin and I said it so many times with a nearby campfire. “Hot!” Is there an echo in the house? |
